Yep, it's me and my scary stuff again! I found this on Etsy whilst searching for horror themed colouring books, and although it's technically an activity book there's lots of colouring to do inside! The book (or Zine, as it's only a short one) comes from London-based group 'Pizza Eaters' who make other popular culture TV zines like this, including The X-Files, Lost, Twin Peaks & Dexter. As you can imagine this one's all about scary movies, both popular and a little more obscure. Have a look inside, if you dare!
As I said it is only a small book, with 8 double-sided pages sized at about A6, so don't expect a full sized colouring book. The paper is good enough for water based markers, and I love the illustrations and activities they've included. The only thing I would say is some of the films are a little TOO obscure, as a couple of them I didn't recognise at all (and I thought I was a horror movie buff). I would have liked to see more popular movies like Saw, The Ring, The Exorcist, etc., just because I think they'd be cool to colour. Then again, I was pleasantly surprised to see lesser-known cult horrors like Funny Games, Martyrs, and Trick R Treat in there, so I guess it just depends what you've seen and what you haven't.
Here's my finished pages! Two great Hallowe'en movies :D

 | And now onto the giveaway! I was sent a copy of The Wire zine, but I've never seen the show so I thought I'd give it as a prize to a Wire/Colouring fan! (From research I see the gorgeous Dominic West is in the program so I might have to re-think and give it a watch). So, for your chance to win all you have to do is give me a like on Facebook and Twitter, and comment on the review post on Facebook with your favourite scary movie. A winner will be chosen on Monday 29th June. Good luck! |
This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review. You can find the whole collection of zines on Pizza Eaters Etsy page.
